The catch with the minion gems is though wacky resistance buffs that you don't get until they are actually level 20. it's ridiculous, the minion resistance should scale with level.

Zombies actually do have resist at level 1 and it does scale.

Well, considering I am not, and will not play it for hours on end anymore due to GGG's balancing methods, throwing ~400-500eu across 2 accounts is definitely an issue. For what little time I will spend on PoE, mule chars/accounts will suffice.

no one should be surprise at snapshotting fix. we all got used to it but if you think about it, the fact that you can have 6 link without wearing a 6 link, and benefits of items without equipping them is nonsensical in the first place. we just have to hope they rebalance minions though once snapshotting is removed.

Most of us I assume use it because its there. Free stats are available to us and it feels stupid to skip out on it especially when your trying to min/max.

But yeah am sure no one will be surprised and should not QQ about it when it happens it was a bug in the game for years.

I think one of the problems summoner has is the late game scaling, once you hit level 20 gems then what? Other builds can buy better and better weapons/gear. Summoner pretty much flatline unless you take considerable effort and currency into raising zombie level and even than there is a hard ceiling once you cap all your gems. Maybe have minion damage affix be rolled else where? Like a weapon.

I do think the 6l zombie and 4l spectre will be better, evangelist actually don't require many supports to deal good damage I was thinking.

Evangelist + remote mine + conc effect + Iaoe
or
Eva + remote mine + fasting casting + minion damage

Anyways am predicting minion snapshot to come in 1.3 not 1.2. It seems to me GGG has an idea of what they want to do but implementing and testing will take a while. So wwe still have a while to enjoy snapshotting while it lasts. Just be prepared and prep for when it does happen.

In regards to evangelists, the conc effect (or increased aoe) only affect the protective bubble and not its damage output.

The evangelist spell is most definitely a AOE physical spell. Shouldn't conc effect boost it's damage unless you have a source telling otherwise =?
